<p>Here is, 1. The doom of seducers, who attempt to draw good people, or those who profess to be such, into sin and mischief, who take pride in <i>causing the righteous to go astray in an evil way</i>, in drawing them into a snare, that they may insult over them. They shall not gain their point; it is impossible to deceive the elect. But they shall <i>fall themselves into their own pit</i>; and having been not only sinners, but tempters, not only unrighteous, but enemies to the righteous, their condemnation will be so much the greater, <a class="bibleref" title="Matt.23.14,Matt.23.15" href="/passage/?search=Matt.23.14,Matt.23.15"><span class="bibleref" title="Matt.23.14">Matt. 23:14</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Matt.23.15">15</span></a>. 2. The happiness of the sincere. They shall not only be preserved from the evil way which the wicked would decoy them into, but they shall <i>have good things</i>, the best things, <i>in possession</i>, the graces and comforts of God’s Spirit, besides what they have in reversion.</p>
